Topic: When to stop Testing?

   Ques:How can it be known when to stop testing?

Ans: This can be difficult to determine. Many modern software applications are so complex, and run in such an interdependent environment, that complete testing can never be done. Common factors in deciding when to stop are: 

Deadlines (release deadlines, testing deadlines, etc.) 
Test cases completed with certain percentage passed 
Test budget depleted 
Coverage of code/functionality/requirements reaches a specified point 
Bug rate falls below a certain level 
Beta or alpha testing period ends
